Student interest survey
Artifact Description
Google forms is a tool used for creating surveys simply online, so that they are easily shareable.
The process of creating this survey via Google forms was self-explanatory and enjoyable. I selected the option that I wanted a new Google form, and from there, I created the questions that I wanted on the form. In order to choose different types of questions, I clicked on the drop-down menu that offered the different choices, and selected what I needed for each specific question.
I believe that this artifact falls under Component 2A, Creating an Environment of Respect and Rapport, specifically, Element 1, Teacher Interaction with Students. I think that this fits the sentiments of this Component and Element because it gives the instructor the opportunity to get to know the students in a formal, yet fun and non-threatening format. This fosters in the students the idea that their teacher cares about them, and wants to learn about them, especially because he wants to see them succeed. The student interest survey also fits into this section because it helps the teacher to understand the students so that he will better be able to reach them throughout the entire year because he knows what topics they appreciate.
Artifact Reflection
In the future, I will try out other types of surveys that are more academic, as well as types that would help to gain a more general understanding of the students' interests, wants, and needs. I will try to incorporate more questions, and more types of questions to find out what questions are easiest for the students to understand and answer.
I appreciated all of the options that were available, and how easy they all were to set up. This survey form had many features that would make the end result perfectly fitted to any age group's needs.
There would also be a number of different uses for a survey created by Google Forms in the classroom. The Student Interest Survey is one that readily comes to mind, as well as student preferences for options for extracurricular activities, field day choices, and rewards. This format could also be used to give older students take-home quizzes, as well as homework assignments, and brief background probes for the next lesson.
This information ties into materiel from Foundations of Teaching because it does have the capacity to include Formative Assessments, as well as Summative Assessments. Surveys created with this tool generally show the student that the teacher cares about what he is putting as a response, and he is cared about as a student, and as an individual.
This tool supports information from Educational Psychology because it provides the instructor with a knowledge of what scaffolds will be effective for various students.
